A new horse tack shop opened Friday on U.S. 68/80 near Interstate 24, at the old Shell station between the Tourism Building and the Super 7 Motel.

Elizabeth Englert, the owner of Fox’s Den Tack Shop, said she has had a store at her farm, Fox Run Farm in Trigg County, for about 10 years, and a website, foxsdentackshop.com, and that recently they have expanded to the new location on I-24, which opened Friday morning.

“We do a little bit of English, we do a little bit of Western,” Englert said. “We’re real interested in supporting the horse community in Cadiz. There aren’t many tack shops in the local area … We’re excited about being near the Interstate.”

The store sells tack and horse supplies as well as apparel and gifts for horses and horse riders. Tack, Englert said, is equipment that horses use, such as bridals, saddles, stirrups and other items.
